Well hey now folks, to reply and inform on a few things. The rope with the carabiner, which I have a few of, is 30 feet long. The Enduras (folder knives) consist of one serrated and the other straight edge; yes they are more or less EDC items. The seatbelt cutter thing is a Benchmade 7 Hook, and (su...

Hey folks, Haven't been on in a while. Just wanted to say hey again. Much gear added since last time, to the point of having an excess that can't be carried on person and so much that redundancies get created. Here's what it looks like: http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/9333/dsc4729.jpg Keep in min...

a 870 v. 590 thread :) Here's whats going to happen. first a bunch of people will suggest the mossy then some other guys will come in and say no no the 870 has a shorter stroke and a steal receiver. Then i'll probably make a joke about not needing an extension that no one but me will get. If we're ...

canuck, thanks for starting this thread. I'm considering basically the same purchase as you - and am still also debating the .357 sig. I wouldn't mind reloading either, so I guess that cuts the cost for .357 long term (negating the higher ammo cost argument). I guess my question is though... Why ar...

Yes, I know it is a chest harness. But I also know that with a few short and fast adjustments, it can be worn backwards. I've got a pair of TT water bottle pouches and a pair of CountyCom EOD bags on mine. Solid colors, mostly matches, relatively inexpensive, comfy and it holds a hell of a lot of g...

Water - after filtration water needs to be purified. There are several chemical means of doing this chlorine dioxide seems the best. Several companies market the stuff just search for the best deal. Use this for emergency drinking. when you have time boil it, boiling is best. Just remember boiling,...

Check out the Camelbak BFM. It's like the motherload but has some additional side pockets. I just did 20 miles of hike and stayed three days with mine. I had all the usual stuff with me, stove, tent, pad, sleeping bag, camelbak 5 liter water bladder (up grade) and the normal gear for such a trip. I...

Surefire and Fenix don't make solar powered lights, so I'm gonna say no. What about one of those earth magnet inside and coil to generate electricity flashlights through a hand gesture not unlike masturbation? I think that would be better as you can command power when you want it... and have a laugh...

Ahh, then I do apologize and wholeheartedly agree. :oops: The concept shows promise, but Troy's marketing skills show very little. If he would just settle down a bit and accept help from some business experts, he might actually stand to make a lot of money while supporting the troops. Sad really......

I'm Irish, and not Dublin lady man Irish either! Waterford here, c'mon the Munster after the display of Rugby yesterday with the New Zealand XV (All Blacks). Americans may enjoy this, it's like your football but a lot better ;) Be honest, would ye rather fight a "Karate" guy or a Rugby guy? Like Pa...

OSPREY MESSENGER BAGS!!! http://www.altrec.com/osprey-packs/bags-luggage/messenger-bags/ I've had one a year, they come in a range of colours to suit your girl's wants, and they have a lifetime warranty. I had a buckle break and buckles in my mailbox by the following week. Simply amazing quality for...

If there was anything used to 'record' I'd say one of the newer video DSLR cameras (Nikon D90 or Canon 5D MkII) would do the trick. Theyre dual purpose in stills, moving picture, and audio... you could easily use some light prime (fixed focal length) lenses to capture whatever you wanted. SD memory ...
